Trials of Life
By Alpha, Bulma, and Sparkplug
Rin's POV
Yuki ran outside to face the wolves and I was filled with terror. I hid in the corner of the tent, laying in a fetal position. The scenes kept going through my mind... the ambush, the murder...the pain. Sesshomaru- sama wasn't here to save me this time. I'd have to save myself and Yuki.
I grabbed an iron skillet and headed to the tent flap. I opened it. A wolf demon stood there, holding Yuki. "No!" I cried as I hit him over the head with all my might. He fell and Yuki was left before me. "Yuki! Thank goodness you... you have doggy ears and a tail!" I exclaimed.
Yuki's POV
I stared at Rin for a moment. "You hit him." I blinked, and the tears started rolling. "It's awful! I'm...a hanyou!" I covered my face with my hands. "I don't want to be a hanyou! That stupid wolf... this is all his fault!" I felt my ears flatten against the top of my head and whimpered. I looked up at Rin. "I... don't know who... or what I am anymore. I'm afraid."
Rin's POV
"Don't be afraid, Yuki," I told her as I hugged her. "Ladies." It was Lady Yuni. "I see you have passed the defense test... Oh my, Yuki! I was afraid this would happen."
"Mmm..." Koga growled as he got up, rubbing his head, "That hurt you human- pup!" Lady Yuni smiled. "Now, calm down Koga," she ordered, "You knew that they would defend themselves. Which I must admit, Rin, that was a good hit! Now then, Koga, give me the earring. Thank you. Now we just put it on you, Yuki, and... poof! Instant human. Nothing to worry about, dear." She patted Yuki on the back.
"Now then, let's head back to camp." We turned to leave. Suddenly, Koga grabbed Yuki and ran off into the forest, disappearing from sight. "Yuki!" I screamed.
Yuki's POV
I was stunned...for about three seconds. Then I started screaming. "Ookami no baka! Let me go!" I squirmed against Koga. He snarled at me, tightening his grip on me and running faster. "No! Let go, Koga--- that is your name right?--- I need to go through and pass my trials! Koga~a!" He didn't care. He kept running. I stared at the mountains looming up ahead of us.
Rin's POV
I ran into the supply tent and came out with a bow and arrows. "I'm going to kill him!" I yelled as I began to run after the wayward wolf demon. Lady Yuni grabbed me and took away my weapon. "No, I have to save her!" I pleaded as I struggled against my camp master. "Rin, you must let her go. This is part of her trial and the beginning of yours. As the next test for you, I have apprenticed you in the household of a lord. Ah, here your escort is. Welcome, Jaken."
Yuki's POV
After a while, my throat was raw from yelling, my voice was gone, and I was cold. I pressed myself against Koga. He was warm. I heard him let out a choked noise, but his steps never faltered. I dozed off several minutes later.
When I woke, it was because Koga was coming to a halt. I opened my eyes and looked around. There were wolves everywhere! Two more wolf demons ran up, in human form. One had a white Mohawk, the other had white hair with a black puff in the front. Koga spoke to them
"This is the girl, Ginta, Hakkaku." I looked up at him, confused. Ginta and Hakkaku blinked. "From the Trials." Cold, blue eyes met my bright brown. "I'm considering her." The other wolf demons looked enlightened. "For a mate, Koga?" asked the one with the Mohawk. Koga nodded. I gasped quietly and looked away. 'No...'
Rin's POV
"Hello, Rin," Jaken said coolly, "Master Sesshomaru is waiting for you at the palace. Let's go." I stepped into an odd portal with Jaken. By the count of three, we were at the palace. Sesshomaru stood on a balcony with the moon behind him. The wind blew, causing his robes and hair to billow around him. I heard him murmur my name as he hopped off the balcony to land near me.
I ran to him and threw my arms around him. "Sesshy, I missed you so much!" I cried, joyful tears streaming down my cheeks.
